Old postcards from the early 20th century, compared to the same view shown on Google Street View today. The postcards come from my own collection. Almost all of them are from England, mainly showing West London, Middlesex, Surrey, Berks and Bucks. Click on the postcards to see enlarged versions. Street View images are the copyright of Google.

Iver, Buckinghamshire, The High Street, c1910

Iver, Buckinghamshire, The High Street, circa 1910. The building on the right was the premises of George Morton, grocer. It survives, but it is a shadow of its former self. The building on the left was a beerhouse called the 'General Garibaldi'. It was run by the Hutton family in the first decade of the 20th century. No trace of it survives today.
